History[edit]

Church Farm

Sunk Island originated as a sand bank in the Humber Estuary; by the reign of Charles I of England, it was said to form a seven acreisland, one-and-a-half mile from the mainland.[4] From 1663, the land around it was gradually drained, and by the mid-18th century, the channel separating it from the shore had entirely silted up. It was parished in 1831.[4]
